Smokeping would work, you'd just need to run on a longer cycle. If it's
only a few different devices, you can probably run it on a 60 second
interval safely enough. Rather than sending 1 ping a second, sending 10
or 20 every 60 seconds will give you a pretty good look at jitter,
latency, and packetloss across the network.
If you're trying to troubleshoot a known issue and you want more
granular data, you could look at something like PingPlotter over a short
period of time.

I've never seen that feature on a Netonix like switch without it costing $3000.
ICMP has always done good enough

You are looking for a carrier / telco feature, of which there are
several variants. CCM is one, "loopback testing" is another.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1ag is a good place to start
You won't get the level of reliability or accuracy you are looking for
with regular ICMP echo, and some gear actually responds very poorly
when the management interface is ping'd every 1 sec.

Just wanting to keep an eye out for packet loss. I currently do it with a
Windows program but I'm looking for something more stable. It's mostly to
monitor backhauls and maybe APs

I can't get smokeping to send a ping say every second and only one each
time. Any alternatives or suggestions?
